Definition
RSE measures how sensitive selection probability is to changes in representation quality. Higher RSE indicates greater marginal benefit from representation improvements.
RSE assesses how much selection probability changes for a given improvement in representation quality. Higher RSE indicates greater marginal benefit.
Conceptual Formula
RSE = (%Δ selection_probability) / (%Δ representation_quality).Methodology

Description
RSE = (%Δ selection_probability) / (%Δ representation_quality).
Limitations
- Elasticity estimation requires controlled variation
- Selection probability attribution is complex
Key Takeaways
Key Points
- RSE can be positive or negative
- Higher indicates more responsive
- Guides representation investment prioritization
